Host Families Needed

EMY Cursos en el Extranjero is an agency in the north of Spain that coordinates language immersion programs around the world. For over 20 years, EMY has sent a group of teens to Connecticut in the summer to practice their English, while living with (and becoming part of) an American host family. Though the experience lasts just one month (June 28th - July 25th) the bond between these remarkable kids and their families can last a lifetime!

This program is based in Wallingford. However, families may also live in the surrounding towns, including: Meriden, Hamden, North Haven, and Cheshire.
